  2. They all seem keen to impress the man in the centre of the picture. A litle more salt? Perhaps a touch more spice? I wonder who he is. I enjoyed seing the Swedish Chef once again too.

  4. Ha! That is so funny! I wonder if they had begun cooking before everybody arrived?

    I'll watch the video soon.

  6. Oh the video is hilarious. Some great photos here. One of our sons and one of our daughters went to culinary school. Neither one of the are chefs now. They both cook all the time but have other careers too.

  7. Great photos and videos. I remember back in the days when I was lecturing having to occasionally to dine in the college kitchens where the chefs were trained. Your experience depended what stage of the academic year your visit took place in!

  9. I didn't know about the chef Muppet. I was thinking he looked like he was related to Miss Piggy, and then up popped Miss Piggy.

  10. One of my cousins just finished culinary school. I have never tasted any of her cakes because she's in Toronto and I'm in Atlanta but I would love to have a meal she cooked!

  12. I too have always wondered what these shots were for. There are 4 in the "series", but only these two have people in the shots. They are large format Polaroid prints. I'm glad I finally had a logical reason to post them.

  15. Ohhh, I've never been in an IKEA, but the thought of them selling hot dogs rather churns the stomach.

  16. I have not seen Miss Piggy for a long time; she is unique! For the top, guess the chef's hats are big enough; the food taster is ready, nothing can go wrong now! Enjoyed T.

  17. Hey, as long as someone else is doing the cooking I am happy! The video was hilarious and a great end to the post!

  18. These looked a little staged, in my opinion, by the way everything is set on the counter. Nice pics though!!

    But the vid steals the sow, ahem... the show!!
